This is slightly contentious among the local people of Magomadas and Modolo as they all believe that Bosan Malvasia isn't provenant. The pure art form is found in our Many of the vineyards you will see in the area are small sweet white grapes.

However, it is good stuff. Most Malvasia should be allowed to mature for 2 years. It has a golden intense colour and a full and enveloping taste. It's normally drunk, either before eating, as an aperitif, or with the local pastries at the end of a meal. However, it is a predominantly sweet wine and we tend to love it after a meal

This wine can be both sweet and dry. Again, some of the local vineyards feel that the familiar sweet taste of Malvasia is not normal. Many of the vintners add a small percentage of Vernaccia, a drier wine to dampen the sweetness. You will regularly hear them refer to 10-20% Vernaccia content.

To get yourself a bottle you'll find it in most of the delicatessens in Bosa. However, as mentioned in an earlier post if you drive up to Magomadas you can find a most helpful seller who will let you try the wines before buying. he has a wide range and is unique in providing what is referred to as 'black Malvasia'; a Malvasia made from red grapes. Very unusual and very nice!. Here is the link on how to get there. https://goo.gl/maps/EVTrsPPqfzyg4znEA

Lastly, you may also wish to try a 'Malvasia spumante'. Ask for this in bars. I love it as a bar drink. Its a cross between a Prosecco and a sweet sparkling wine. They also make a 'Malvasia Sprits' which is an interesting taste
